Answer:
Mean = 78.2
Standard deviation = 5.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Mathematically z-score;
= (x-mean)/SD
From the question;
12% of test scores were above 85
Thus;
P( x > 85) = 12%
P(x > 85) = 0.12
Now let’s get the z-score that has a probability of 0.12
This can be obtained from the standard normal distribution table and it is = 1.175
Thus;
1.175 = (85 - mean)/SD
let’s call the mean a and the SD b
1.175 = (85-a)/b
1.175b = 85 - a
a = 85 - 1.175b ••••••••(i)
Secondly 8% of scores were below 70
Let’s find the z-score corresponding to this proportion;
We use the standard normal distribution table as usual;
P( x < 70) = 0.08
z-score = -1.405
Thus;
-1.405 =( 70-a)/b
-1.405b = 70-a
a = 70 + 1.405b ••••••(ii)
Equate the two a
70 + 1.405b = 85 - 1.175b
85 -70 = 1.405b + 1.175b
15 = 2.58b
b = 15/2.58
b = 5.81
a = 70 + 1.405b
a = 70 + 1.405(5.81)
a = 78.16
So mean = 78.2 and Standard deviation is 5.8
5x + 3. You can also synthetically divide because of the linear divisor
Answer:
15 people
Step-by-step explanation:
let x=total # of people on the team
80%=12
80/100=12/x
cross multiply
80x=1200
division property of equality (divide both sides by 80)
x=15
There are 15 people on the team.
14. The distance between the two points is 14.866.
Distance can be calculated with the following formula:
d=√(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²
d=√(12-2)²+(5-(-6))²
d=√10²+11²
d=√100+121
d=√221
d=14.866
15. The distance between the two points is 20.248.
Use the same formula to find the distance.
d=√(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²
d=√(4-(-3))²+(12-(-7))²
d=√7²+19²
d=√49+361
d=√410
d=20.248
